Open Door Baptist Church Children's Ministry

Last week in Olympians, we not only had a blast with our Nerf guns, but we also learned from 2 Timothy about sticking to what we believe (doctrine). Students gave us an example by throwing cheese balls that stuck to their teammates' heads. Our Gopher Buddies learned about courage and doing the right thing from Daniel. They even showed their courage by standing in the "fiery furnace."

Last week, our students put the Bible principle of loving your neighbor in action by packing bags for Mighty Moms who help provide weekend meals for kids who might not have food at home. We spent time praying over the children that would receive the meals. Thank you parents for helping supply the items to pack the bags.
This Wednesday (3/25), students can deck out in their favorite decade. For our game time at the end of the night, we will set up a throw-back skating rink. Students can bring skates or scooters.

We hope you join us this week for Ice Cream night. Last week, our Challengers, Conquerors, and Champions learned more about what God is like by focusing on His faithfulness. We also enjoyed a challenging game of foursquare (pictured below). Our Gopher Buddies understood that the church is more than a building- it is God's people. Mrs. Amy created hands-on experiences to help them learn this concept. Don't forget to bring Mighty Moms items this week for service project night. (sign-up list: www.perfectpotluck.com/TRHH7892)

No Olympians tonight. Join us for our auditorium study!

Join us tonight for a study on "God's Truth about Salvation." Because of winter break, Olympian volunteers and students can join us in the auditorium (no separate Olympian program). Teens will meet as normal for their service.

This week, we honored our teachers by bringing them cards, gifts, and letting them "punch a prize" on our board! We also talked about God's power in our elementary Bible lesson (one of our students gave an example of power by lifting weights 💪😀). Our next Olympian night will be on February 25. It will be Store Night, so bring your Olympian bucks to purchase some cool prizes. We are approaching our next service project night. Check out the info below and sign up to bring items: https://www.perfectpotluck.com/TRHH7892.

Our Olympians will show our love and appreciation to our volunteers tonight! We encourage students to write a brief note or card, or to give a small gift to thank their leader for their work each week!

Our Gopher Buddies proved they knew how to make a mess on Messy night last week. Join us this week for Wacky Wednesday at 7 p.m. as our elementary learn about God's greatness and Gopher Buddies learn about God's plan for the church.

Last night, crazy sock night was "sock-cessful." Check out the video to see a glimpse of what we did. Our Gopher Buddies talked about how God feels when we sin and do right. The elementary students focused on Christ's parable in Matthew 25 about being prepared for eternity. Next week, join us for messy night!

Come, step on in tonight in your crazy socks for Olympians. We cannot wait to see everyone's footwear and continue learning about preparing for eternity (elementary), and understanding that God sees our sin (gopher buddies).

We had a blast last night at our "Out of this World" night in Olympians. Here are a few highlights from our gopher buddies and leader, Mrs. Amy Lobo. We are thankful for all the excitement she brings to our 4 and 5 year-old Olympians! Join us next week for Balloon Night!

We hope you had an incredible holiday break over the last 2 weeks! We can't wait to blast off our second semester of Olympians with "Out of This World" night. Students can disguise themselves as aliens, astronauts, planets, and anything else that is stellar.

Tomorrow night is our Christmas Party and Store Night. We hope to see you there!
